Nuovo Ponte Ferroviario sul Canale Ovest
Project

Description

Construction of a bridge, which includes a curved route on which the non-electrified single-track railway infrastructure is set. The infrastructure crosses the West Industrial Canal, connecting to the West (Via Banchina dei Molini) and to the East (Via Banchina dell’Azoto) with the existing railway network. To guarantee the transit of pleasure boats and goods transport which affects the terminal section of the Western Industrial Canal, the project involves the construction of a pivoting central span.

Economics

The cost of the work amounts to €24.3 million, of which €8 million is financed by the Complementary Fund (PNRR) and €9 million is allocated from MIPAF funds (PNRR Agriculture).

Objective

With a view to best serving the growing market expectations, the infrastructural implementation of the railway network within the District is underway. The intervention allows the infrastructural strengthening of the Porto Marghera railway network.

Benefits

Eliminate the double maneuvering of railway trains at Mestre station;

Obtain multiple benefits in terms of railway system capacity and safety;

Reduce the number of interferences between the road and railway networks;

Reduce the overall times of railway maneuvers affecting the south-west part of the port, where 40% of the port's overall traffic is generated.
